Kenny Vaccaro launching Gamers First (G1) esports<\/h2>\n
In the same move in which Vaccaro announced his retirement from the NFL, he began his next venture with the launch of G1, or Gamers First, an esports organization. G1 will be co-owned by pro gamers Hunter Swensson and Cody Hendrix, and the team will look to compete for a spot at the Halo World Championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n The name, Gamers First, comes from Vaccaro’s self-identification as a “gamer first” as he stated in the announcement. He went on to talk about while many think of him as an NFL player, due to his successes on the field, he’s been a gamer for even longer, and thinks of himself that way first.<\/p>\n It’s an awesome move for Vaccaro to chase another lifelong dream and co-found the new G1 organization. They’ll certainly be worth keeping tabs on, as Kenny’s competitive fire won’t lend itself to mediocrity on the esports scene.<\/p>\n
